I know it's been almost a year since I've had a chance to be back on this board and respond to this issue, and I have to put out an update, but I know the problem with my initiating things with him is rejection. He'll either fall asleep or pretend he's asleep or not respond to my advances at all. Oy vey........... It has gotten slightly better, but not good enough, over the past year. I'm still highly frustrated and nothing is really resolved.
I'll create a new thread when I have more time as a recap of the year.
